Enumerations
*1. N is the maximum number of characters handled. For example, if a maximum of 10 single-byte characters
are handled, the NULL character is added, so memory for 11 characters must be reserved.
The elements of arrays and the members of structures and unions are located in memory for the most
efficient access. The alignments and the amounts of memory that are allocated for arrays, structures,
and unions are determined by the variable declarations, as described below.
Data type
Array Same as alignment of the data type
of the elements
Structure The largest alignment of all of the
members
Union The largest alignment of all of the
members
*1. BOOL arrays are an exception. Refer to Precautions for Correct Use, below, for the amount of memory that
is allocated for BOOL arrays.
